Research Fellow in Cochlear Mechanics in UK (Ben Lineton )

Research Fellow in Cochlear Mechanics
Salary: £25,134 - £30,913
Institute of Sound and Vibration Research
A one-year Research Fellowship is avaliable in cochlear mechanics is ISVR. The emphasis of this work will be on developing a computational model of the mechanics of the cochlear partition that is physiologically plausible, and comparing the results from this model with the direct cochlea measurements made by other groups. The post will thus involve a combination of numerical modelling and coordination with measurement groups, particularly that of Dr. N. Cooper at Keele University. A flexible multi-disciplinary approach is thus required.
A combination of analytic and numerical models would be used and experience in modelling tools such as MATLAB is required, together with some experience of hearing or physiology research and the ability to work within a team.
